Gu Jiu was supported by Qingmei, got into the bullock cart, and set off to leave the General's Mansion.
This banquet was like a disaster for the Gu family.
Mrs. Xie got into the carriage with a dark face and clenched fists. The long nails had pierced the palm of her hand, but she didn't know it.
Nanny Ping waited by her side, "Ma'am, that matter didn't work out. The Sixth Young Master didn't even enter the gate of the courtyard, and Miss Pei has already left and set off for the barracks."
"Where are the Liulang people?"
"The Sixth Young Master has returned home early."
Mrs. Xie snorted coldly, "Sure enough, I shouldn't have told Liu Lang. This child has never experienced wind and rain, so I still take it for granted."
Nanny Ping lowered her head, "Ma'am, what should I do next?"
Xie sternly said, "Let's deal with the matter of Gu Jiu falling into the water first and then talk about other things."
Nanny Ping looked at Mrs. Xie, "I am very confused. Since the second girl knew that it was the third girl who sent someone to push her into the water, why didn't she say anything in the first place? Why did the servant girl yell at me until today?" Everyone knows it. Madame, there is something in it."
Xie sneered, "It doesn't matter how famous she is, I can make her fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain, and all her hard work is in vain."
Nanny Ping opened her eyes wide, and there was a gleam of excitement in her eyes, "Has Madam decided?"
Xie nodded, "Remember to play by ear."
"Your servant understands." Nanny Ping responded.
…
On the bullock cart, Gu Jiu leaned against Qingmei's arms.
"Has everything been arranged?" she asked.
Qingmei nodded, "Li Chuan has already returned to the manor to report to the master ahead of time. Miss, is it really all right?"
Gu Jiu narrowed her eyes slightly, "Don't worry."
Everything that happens at the banquet is just an appetizer.
The real battlefield is in the Governor's Mansion.
Gu Jiu changed to a more comfortable position, "I'll sleep for a while. Remember to wake me up when you arrive."
She has to recharge her energy and prepare for the future plan.
All the way back to the governor's mansion safely.
Gu Jiu got off the carriage at the second door.
She leaned her whole body on Qingmei, "Madam, I'll go back to my room first."
"The second girl went back to her room and lay down properly. I have already sent someone to invite the doctor."
Xie Shi also got out of the carriage, and spoke softly to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu blessed Fushen, "Thank you madam for your concern. I fell into the water today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pay my respects to my wife for a long time. Please forgive me."
Xie said: "Take good care of your body. Taking care of your body is better than anything else."
"Thank you, madam, for your understanding. Qingmei, help me go back."
Qingmei helped Gu Jiu back to Zhilan courtyard.
Not long after she lay down, Xiao Cui came in to report, "Girl, Master is here to visit you."
Master Gu walked into Gu Jiu's bedroom with great strides.
Gu Ting followed Master Gu, his eyes were full of anger.
Gu Jiu hurriedly said, "Qingmei, help me up."
"You're not in good health, so don't get up." Mr. Gu said expressionlessly.
Gu Jiu coughed lightly, leaned against the head of the bed, and said with lowered eyebrows, "Father, my daughter knows her mistake."
Mr. Gu sat down on the chair, with a gloomy face, not arrogant, "Where did you go wrong?"
"How could it be my younger sister who was wrong?" Gu Ting was not convinced, feeling aggrieved for Gu Jiu.
Master Gu was furious, and snapped at Gu Ting, "You have no place to speak here. If you can't control your mouth, back off."
Gu Ting wanted to defend himself, but Gu Jiu hurriedly stopped him, "Brother, I know you love me, but I did make a mistake today."
"Sister?" Gu Ting was anxious.
Gu Jiu shook her head slightly, signaling Gu Ting not to speak.
Gu Ting listened to Gu Jiu the most, since Gu Jiu asked him not to speak, he did not speak any more.
Facing Mr. Gu, Gu Jiu said frankly, "My daughter is wrong because she knows that the family should not be publicized, but she still made a fuss about the matter, which damaged the Gu family's reputation. Father, my daughter knows her mistake, so you should punish her."
Master Gu said "Yes", "Since you know that your family's ugliness should not be publicized, why do you commit crimes knowingly?"
Gu Jiu burst into tears all of a sudden, and his heart ached for Gu Ting.
Gu Jiu raised her head and faced Master Gu, "Father, my daughter is wronged."
Master Gu frowned.
Plop!
Qing Mei suddenly knelt on the ground, hearing the movement, Gu Jiu felt knee pain.
"Master, I beg you to make the decision for my girl. My girl is suffering so much! She lost her mother since she was a child, and even the dearest Nanny Gui was kicked out of the house.
After stumbling, he finally grew up, but was pushed into the water and almost couldn't be rescued. Thinking that the girl was almost killed by someone, the servant felt wronged for the girl and was not worth it. "
After Qingmei finished speaking, she burst into tears and kowtowed frequently, "Master, please make the decision for my girl."
At this time, the butler Gu Quan walked in. He glanced at the situation in the room, hesitated and said nothing.
Master Gu snorted coldly, staring at Gu Quan, "What's the matter?"
Gu Quan bowed and said: "Master Qi, the wife is leading the third girl, and the fourth girl is here. It's just outside the door."
Master Gu said sharply, "Let them in."
"yes!"
Soon, Mrs. Xie, Gu Yue, and Gu Shan were invited in.
As soon as Mrs. Xie came in, she glanced at the situation in the room first, and then said: "Master, I brought Sanyatou here. Sanyatou hasten to apologize to your second sister."
Gu Yue lowered her head, looking timid. She secretly observed Mr. Gu's expression, feeling very nervous.
Xie stared at her, but Gu Shan pushed her from behind again. So, she hurried forward, "Second Sister, let me apologize to you."
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Yue, and said calmly, "Third sister has a heart."
Gu Yue frowned slightly, what kind of expression did Gu Jiu have. Disdain for her
Gu Ting suddenly asked: "Third sister, you come to apologize to the second sister, do you admit that you were the one who sent someone to push the second sister into the water in the governor's mansion last year?"
Gu Yue was a little dazed, and looked back at Gu Ting.
Gu Yu roared sharply, "Gu Yue, tell everyone in front of everyone, did you send someone to push the second sister into the water last year? Why did you kill the second sister
You know that your second sister is weak, but you still do things that are inferior to pigs and dogs. Did you want to kill your second sister from the very beginning? Say it! "
Gu Yue was questioned repeatedly by Gu Ting, and she panicked.
She said indiscriminately: "I didn't, you don't want to wrong me. The matter of Gu Jiu falling into the water has nothing to do with me. Today she jumped into the water by herself. She just wanted to frame me. Father, mother, you have to decide for me what."
"Shut up!" This is Mr. Gu, with hidden anger, which is on the verge of eruption.
"Shut up!" This is Mrs. Xie.
Xie was about to cry out of Gu Yue's anger. Before coming, she told her face to face, and Gu Yue promised well. Why did she lose her composure when facing Gu Jiu
Gu Shan covered her face, unable to bear to read on.
Xie yelled at Gu Yue, "Yue'er, what are you doing?"
Gu Yue came back to her senses and felt afraid when facing Mr. Gu's cold eyes.
She was nervous and aggrieved, "Mother, my daughter didn't lie. What happened today has nothing to do with me."
"Is it related to you when Xiao Jiu fell into the water last year?" Master Gu asked in a cold voice.
Gu Yue was so nervous that she shrank into a ball, shaking her head frequently, not daring to speak.
"Tell me! Did you send someone to push Xiao Jiu into the water last year?"
Master Gu suddenly raised the volume, startling everyone in the room.
Mr. Gu has a lot of authority, and Gu Yue couldn't bear this invisible pressure, so he burst into tears, "Father, my daughter is wrong."
"So it was indeed you who pushed Xiao Jiu into the water last year."
Gu Yue only cared about crying and didn't dare to respond.
Master Gu laughed back in anger, "Is there any deep hatred between you and Xiaojiu, and you have to put her to death? I don't expect you sisters to be friendly, but you will never allow sisters to kill each other."
Snapped!
Master Gu slapped the table with a slap. The teacup jumped up and made a loud noise.
Everyone's heart was shocked.
Even Mrs. Xie had an uneasy expression on her face.
"Master calm down, it's my fault that I didn't teach Yue'er well."
"Of course you are wrong." Master Gu didn't give Xie any face at all, "Look at the good daughter you raised. The second girl is weak, she is not considerate, but she even pushed people into the water in late autumn. Almost put the second girl to death.
Today, again pushing people into the water. Again and again, are you dead when you are an official? Could it be that this official can't even protect a daughter? "
Mrs. Xie turned pale with shock, "Master, this concubine is wrong. After this concubine goes down, I will definitely discipline the third girl strictly."
"I didn't push my second sister today." Gu Yue still said so.
Xie was furious, "Yue'er, shut up."
Gu Jiu said softly: "Sister San, you did push me, did you forget?"
Gu Yue yelled at Gu Jiu, "That's not pushing, don't try to wrong me."
Master Gu was stern and furious, "I still don't know how to repent and be presumptuous! Someone, take the third girl down and beat her with a board, and beat her hard."
"Wow..." Gu Yue burst into tears, and when she heard that she was going to be spanked, she was scared to death, "Father, I know I was wrong."
Mrs. Xie also panicked, "Master, you can't do it! Yue'er is a girl's family, so how can she hit the board? What if it breaks?"
She didn't expect Master Gu to be so furious that he wanted to hit Gu Yue's board. The girl's body is delicate, so it's okay to beat her down with a board.
Master Gu said sharply: "I have made up my mind, Madam, don't mention it again."
Xie was anxious, "Master, you... I... ah..."
"Madam? Madam, what's the matter with you?" Nanny Ping cried out worriedly.
Xie clutched her stomach, "My stomach, my child..."
Nanny Ping looked terrified, "My wife is not well, come quickly!"
